For a quarter of a century, the Faculty has managed to become one of the leading centres of legal education and science in Russia and worldwide. This became possible because of combination of the fundamental approach to teaching legal subjects and HSE's best educational practices.

Since 2012, the Faculty has been conducting educational activities according to its own standards, which ensure a more effective development of the most important competencies for modern lawyers compared with Federal State educational standards.

The practice-oriented educational model is designed to give students of the programmes fundamental knowledge of law, professional and soft skills necessary for a lawyer, and integrate them into the scientific environment.
